Flower Pics


Here are some more pictures that we took on our trip to New Hope. I love capturing the beauty of nature when I can. One of my favorite subjects to take pictures of are flowers. My favorite flower is the sunflower and I was excited to see how many were growing while we went on our strolls through the town. I hope to grow my own someday. They can grow over ten feet. I think they are such a happy flower and they always seem to be reaching more for that extra bit of sun.



I love the texture and the smell of roses. Rose petals are actually known to be very good for your skin. If you feel run down take a bath with rose petals to liven up your skin. Or you can use rose petal toner for your face or tired eyes. Smelling roses can help relieve stress and ease depression.


This flower I believe is a dahlia (please correct me if I'm wrong ;). This beauty of a flower greeted us as we had lunch at one of our favorite places to eat and relax called Wildflowers. I think the colors in this flower are amazing.
